cycle of violence of riots police in bahrain find chere gas at a funeral march for an anti regime activist who died in custody after he was allegedly denied medical attention. and the country's systematic human rights violations are kept out of the international spotlight on me to accusations mainstream media is acting on behalf of bahrain's ruling. was georgian president mikhail saakashvili search to step down after a goalie election outside please his party only margarines on a table vulnerable to legal action.

you saw russia under around the world this is our see with me thanks for joining us it's torture violence and arrest was used by human rights activists in bahrain to describe the government's attempts to crush and to regime support in the latest incident a riot police move to disperse a funeral procession for a protester who died behind bars after he was allegedly denied proper medical treatment on his policy or has known that. the twenty two year old political activist has died while in police custody in bahrain mohammed was sentenced to seven years behind bars for participating in pro democracy rallies not that i'm saying pro-democracy rallies his family and his lawyer claimed that he was suffering from sickle cell anaemia and he died while in prison because he did not receive adequate medical treatment now thousands of people gathered on tuesday for his funeral procession but have resulted in clashes between protesters and police

as the protesters were prevented from reaching the pole roundabout which is the epicenter of last year's a shiite uprising also on choose date six medics were sent to jail this after the bahraini highest court rejected their appeal to overturn their convictions for the roles in anti regime protests which swept the gulf kingdom last year and human rights groups have condemned this the medics were part of a group of twenty doctors who were charged with inciting violence but in fact were really charged with having been perceived to be on the side of those protesting against the regime what we're hearing from human rights groups is that these are prisoners of conscience they're demanding their release and they have criticized the bahraini government for its dismal human rights record both of these stories have gone launched the unnoticed in the mainstream media there hasn't been any discussion at the united nations there hasn't been any statements issued by

washington and they certainly hasn't been any kind of course by amnesty international observers are saying that you need to know the difference in response between what we've seen here and if by comparison this had happened in syria if twenty two old political activists died because he did not receive medical treatment while behind bars in syria while he was simply protesting for democracy a protest pro democracy. they would be international condemnation. discerned was explicitly covered in the documentary made by c.n.n. journalists the film won the prestigious journalism awards but was only domestically in the year was the decision of the documentary maker things was motivated by money we were able to kind of dodge our minders and sneak into some of the villages and actually see these atrocities patients who'd run out of the hospitals that were shot up with birdshot ambulance drivers who were beaten and as we were heading back out of these villages we were violently detained by security

forces and rain about twenty masked men with machine guns who then try to erase all the video that they found and luckily my female producer and i were able to hide some disks in our broads and we were able to actually get out of the country with this content so you can imagine surprise when we got back to the u.s. and this content was airing on c.n.n. and right after that is when the phone calls started coming into the network complaining about me paying c.n.n. to create content that shows bahrain in a favorable light even though c.n.n. says this content you know is editorially independent it doesn't. affect that what we've seen that with this documentary not airing and also with the constant struggle i had c.n.n. to get bahrain coverage accurate coverage of the human rights abuses on air while i was there what c.n.n. is doing is they're essentially creating what some people have termed infomercials

for dictators and that's the sponsored content that they're airing on c.n.n. international that's actually being paid for by regimes and governments this violates every principle of journalistic ethics because we're supposed to be watchdogs on these governments we're not supposed to allow them to be paying customers as journalists a timeline on the. times reports from bahrain says they are promising started a year ago can be found at. western support for the rebels in syria could come at a very high price some experts now fear that if the free syrian army fighters topple assad they will quickly turn that around about weapons on the jewish community and. turning secrets but they also have a fresh report which highlights some aspects of the current even americans are being kept in the dark about. what's coming up later but now

a decade of one challenge to rule has come to an end for the now former ruling party of georgia with its head president saakashvili now under pressure to resign taking out the montoya's they opposition blog georgian trained promising to undo saakashvili its policies and even take legal action against a liter. of course our friend. it felt as if georgia had won the football world cup in the streets celebrated the surprising win by the opposition and despite fears the ruling regime may somehow hamper destroy soon their worries were swept aside by the president himself so. it is evident that the georgian dream call is and has secured a majority this means this parliamentary majority has to form the next government for us at least for me the views of this coalition were fundamentally unacceptable and still remain so. just six months ago an opposition win was deemed impossible

the ruling party is rating was at seventy percent and nobody could challenge that. really was that he amended the constitution granting more powers to the prime minister a position many predicted he would eventually feel himself little did he know he was digging his own hole when he made this changes to the constitution you would see. it is it time to the dreams it will never see the parliament result in majority of. we knew that one day each. but we could not see if it would come so probably sunday. just tailing the constitution on his own shape and then his own he could survive the flavor or arrest think of your chair but that's a little less flair. however this situation did not come out of nowhere prison

doors or tapes released in september he'd saakashvili the hardest thousands took to the streets as allegations emerged that he personally ordered the torture and filming of these atrocities and now the president could face more than simply losing his grip on power if there's a big enough majority perhaps to impeach him maybe his term to october next year remember the changing point in this election was the allegations of brutality in prisons and torture and the allegation behind that was of course that saakashvili and his prime minister merabishvili had ordered this abuse so if you have a situation where the new parliamentary majority wants to investigate that abuse it could well produce a crisis full of saakashvili and his close associates so they could not only have lost the election but they could face serious legal complications the georgia dream bardsley leader and possibly the next prime minister because anybody really has already made his position clear comes out that there were guns this man's ideology

has established a climate of lies and violence and torture the footage you've seen of the things happening in the georgian prison is the result of his ideology because he brought together the group that carried it out it would be good if he submits his resignation rather than are starting various procedures to force him to resign. it was not only the prison tapes scandal which brought soccer serious fortress of power down say experts corruption among elites. hardball with russia contributed but for now georgia is welcoming a new era. for a fresh start georgia's history is rich with different sorts of bloody could it dos and forceful change of governments in the outgoing president mikhail saakashvili came to power as a result of the revolution so this may well become the first days in this country's history of a peaceful transition of power. a look see russia r.t.

reporting from billy c. in georgia. party politics are making headlines in the u.k. as well with the annual u.k. labor party conference underway but the leader as miliband speech is criticized for putting his life story ahead of the issues our london correspondent brings us the details shortly. where the violence still tearing syria apart alarm bells are ringing for rebel backers amid concerns the revolution could take another ugly turn some experts are convinced that the church community is the number two target on the rebel hit list after president assad and journalist come a ready told us that anti semitic sentiment is on the rise in syria. the irony of supporting the rebels who may eventually become great enemies of the west is something that's lost in the into the very eager interventionists who are pushing the west to intervene in syria to arm the opposition interviewed

a group of rebels in damascus who were holed up in various parts of damascus and there is a bird i interviewed some of them a few of them who traveled from afghanistan said that they had a big fight against the jews ahead of them and this is a million to me because i've met people elsewhere particularly in pakistan who say that they have a fight with the jews ahead of them so they see that as the ultimate in one of the things that was particularly disturbing to me is how monarch class is being groomed as a possible replacement for us are not a lot of people know that men are flosses father. lasse is a first rate he's written a book called the marts of design which talks about the blood libel and he was smuggled out class was smuggled out of the country by french spies he is he keeps making trips to saudi arabia but not a lot of people know the history behind people should be wary of men are close to

being groomed as a possible replacement. but series in the only concern for israel as it intensifies calls to strike terror ran over its nuclear ambitions however washington often the loudest critic of iran has recently turned down calls for military action against the islamic republic austria talks to historian geoffrey of all the things the u.s. is learning by its mistakes this whole conversation is coming your way later this hour. periods of military action in relation to iraq and afghanistan how problematic is too and is. a constraint of the american or western predisposition. in that direction in relation to iraq i'm not sure about the israelis of course. the dugouts by their own decisions. the u.k. labor policy on france is in full swing as miliband is casting himself as

a working class hero promising a bright future for great britain while relentlessly criticising the country's current leadership but as his lower smith now reports there was plenty of politics but few policies in the neighbors need his address ed miliband told the labor party conference about his childhood as the son of jewish refugees fled the nazis and his school days at a london comprehensive which he says enabled him to get on with people from all walks of life his ultimate goal to differentiate himself from david cameron and his chancellor george osborne who'd been branded from within their own party to push boys who don't know the price of milk but in reality just how different is miliband his father was a socialist intellectual and his upbringing in highbrow north london is worlds away from the lives of most british workers he went to oxford and has never had

a proper job outside politics apart from a teaching post at hove that this speech was full of bluster about the all me the believe the wonder of the lympics an ephemeral vision for britain so might say that's because policies are few and far between he said he'll still tout the banks make sure companies pay a fair wage and support the national health service but the main announcement to the speech was a promise that it's elected labor will instigate a massive increase in food patient education focusing on the fifty percent of young people who don't go to university a great idea youth unemployment is around twenty percent at the moment. there was no mention of the all important cost and how it would be met miliband has admitted that it's labor was in power they'd be making austerity cuts too but he's refused to give any detail until after that elected more than anything miliband has tried

again to cost himself as a man of the people but many are saying that if he wants the people to listen what he really needs to do is not talk about himself the seemingly endless anecdotes about his childhood and his family but seriously and in detail about the country and its problems. and you can get in-depth analysis of minute bond speech that's all table coleman has some of the stories waiting for you that the on going forward turning eleven soon it seems that even washington is giving out not going to get more on this state of the taliban the peace talks. and also that another blow to wiki leaks a swedish police raided the offices of the web host for the whistle blowing organization seizing the servers and sending and are running a website it's also lying.

overcoming a barrier like. something . where you. go do whatever it takes to get all the talk of the world on our t.v.

my parents really truly honestly believe that what had happened was as a result of my father's exposure to agent orange i was born with multiple problems . i was missing my leg. and my fingers and my big toe on my right foot i use my hands a lot in my artwork i find myself drawing my hands quite a bit to me for my hands you know just as if anyone would. but they do tell a story they tell us story of. their oxen. welcome

back this is artsy at a time when much of europe is causing well timed waves can russel's has proposed a massive increase to its own budget the plan to be voted on this week would set brussels on a collision course where they state it represents many of which staunchly opposed any rise they say as the e.u. unveils roaring new unemployment data the highest and his trail of luck and jewelry somersetshire the european universe to in-situ says the numbers speak for themselves well it's out of that the state of the economy is absolutely dire and it

actually tells us that what these leaders are trying to do through these meetings in these summits is actually aggravating the situation the austerity measures that are being imposed the radical structural reforms and each of these things is actually aggravating the situation by undermining grown by undermining investor confidence and by omission the humanitarian tragedy i mean there is an enormous public outrage right now in spain as there is in greece as there is in portugal and if these people were allowed to decide on their own future they would not choose the path of the u.s. forcing them down right now so what you're seeing is a repetition of what we've seen for the past twenty or thirty years what's happened in the developing world. is that international lenders through international is the dushan actually cancel the sovereignty of nations states in order to ensure full repayment of the debt i think everything that they're trying to do ultimately is made by financial market panic and what they're not seeing is that you cannot beat the financial markets unless you're willing to take a stand and say that we repudiate part of that and we move on and we set our own priorities and also focusing on austerity talk coming up at seven g.m.t.

peter lever on his gas question just to walk a very wide actually me. it's funny you know that whole term austerity is not one i like very much because it has all these punitive connotations as opposed to what it really means which is that we need fiscal policies that make sense and by making sense you can't spend more than you take in for very long everybody with common sense knows this now they're calling it austerity like like all of us have done something wrong and well now you're going to get it and so either you either want austerity or you want the other thing which is to continue the impossible for us austerity it's terribly austere people are suffering terribly there was you know peter at the stockholm school of economics and some time with my visiting appointment there and in that country we've seen upwards of ten percent of the people have to leave in this massive biblical like

exodus i mean it's just absolutely terrible crushing and regarding the unsustainability of the system well yes true it is unsustainable but not for the reasons i think that iraq has suggested i. assertions that columbia university have released a fresh report on the dangers of drone warfare for the us the paper says not even top military stuff know the exact death toll these are months trikes hailed by officials as surgically precise and it can have long running consequences for america's diplomatic relations so as you know in shock one of the authors of the paper. whenever the u.s. is going into a country and exerting its force they're going to polarize public debate in those countries so the us and tell you a sentiment it's not that's the beginning of the iceberg the tip of the iceberg really because we're also talking about governments in those countries they're seen as cooperating with the united states they lose their legitimacy in their own publics views that can have

a destabilizing effect on democracies and governments all across the world where we're conducting drone strikes we're talking not just about the number of civilians killed or the number of militants killed but the toll on these communities in parts of pakistan somalia and yemen we're talking about regions where there's already a problem of war but this is really adding to the problem as we have civilians who are really caught in the crossfire between milligan militant groups on the one hand and u.s. drone strikes on the other they're afraid of being being targeted merely because they're associating with individuals because they're outside they don't know what will let them be targeted and that's creating for them environment of hysteria and psychological torment when they just don't know when a drone will strike. in somalia or drone strikes are only going to the tension created by the joint american african i should say forces have taken control of a lucrative somalia pool time of peace mio it was long used as a stronghold by our kind of islam is to point is of the al shabaab group it took five days of fierce street by street battles to reclaim key facilities in the city

militants have now been forced from all of somalia's major cities. at least fifteen people have been injured in the bangladesh capital dhaka in clashes between riot police and opposition protesters police fired tear gas trails and used buttons against that of us traitors of its came to the streets to protest last year's election under which the polls are no longer controlled by don't. take a government. and switch to financial matters and call solve this is that really good morning so we were reporting on tuesday that spain was actually ready to request a eurozone bailout. this weekend but that has changed now from what i understand tell us more that's exactly right of course we had after months of silent austerity everyone was waiting to hear about that but i know this was saying that if that did happen it would actually mark a new low for the european crisis and it would indicate that everything is

spiraling out of control well after days of speculation spain's prime minister has no idea is ready to request a bailout for the troubled country the move would of course help madrid also bring along spending conditions which are hard to bear spain is in the second recession in three years with unemployment topping twenty five percent. and a quick look at the markets asia is the only one trader right now and there we see in stocks rising when it comes to the hiring sign it comes back after a four day break because of market holiday there and we're not stocks are rising as we have investors buying up retailers and other commodity for us in hong kong sydney and so now investors are looking forward to friday's jobs reports coming out from the u.s. as well as the payroll non-farm payrolls report that's also very important for investors there if we continue to look at the russian markets that was trading in the bout two hours from now what you're seeing is the picture from choose they

session and there we saw it was a sea of red now one of the highlights or shall we say one of the low points of the day was mining company match which was the top loser shouting over about three and a half percent and that's after reporting loss for the second quarter amounting to eight hundred million dollars and that was on falling commodity prices if you want to take a look at currencies seaver the euro dollar and when it comes to the euro it is setting against the dollar weakening and the ruble figures from choose the recession and there we saw losses against the currency basket of dated figures coming up off and i want to talk about the government which has. and a lot of effort to attract in foreigners to come here auto makers to manufacture here in the country one of the methods used was preferential taxes part since joining the world trade organization that has actually managed to undo some of the work that was started our very own business editor nick paul caught up with an automotive expert sally roots to discuss this issue and lots wallace take

a listen. to you over to her out of the beauty session is going to be positive for the industry it is going to increase competition but i think that. there are so also to. look at the utilization fee that this has been needs to start from the side if you will. the house like it sits with for money again it's not exactly aligned with the principle of the beauty of it which is to reduce barriers to trade but on the other hand russia certainly needs to deal with the issue of setting up the utilization infrastructure they haven't really got one in place and they need one in place to support a growing industry given the growth potential for many foreigners here well most of them are to be honest the twelve major manufacturers are here first of operations busily putting together a logistics and supply chains actively developing market i'm thinking that even if

the market does increase by fifty percent over the next four to five years as it could easily do most of that capacity will be supplied by the factories by expanding. this it's too late then for manufacturers that are more open not building here in the we're getting that way the door is definitely closing there may be a g.c. support one or two to come in to fill the thing she's but certainly most of the major manufacturers that want to be here are here already and they're looking forward to supplying even the growing market. and that's the latest on the car manufacturing process here russia more of course next hour thank you very much for that indeed marina in a few minutes as he talks to historian and author geoffrey velvets hazare discuss what the world has learned from history's deadliest wars.

question is that so much of the taxpayers' money i mean i seriously am a real mystery and it makes me politics austerity reeling from one crisis to another the western world has come to the rescue of the banking and financial sectors of the. world. science technology innovation all the list of elements from around russia we've got the future covered. geoffrey robertson a historian and author of a great new book called stallion is general it's a book about marshals you could have who actually liberated to serve it you know from now it isn't let the soviet army to conquer berlin in ninety forty five so

will recommend. so in your book you discuss general marshall juco his life and his military genius but do you agree military genius taken alone isn't really enough to have a great victory or to win a great war because you also need self-sacrifice you need enthusiasm so if you look at the wars of today let's say the war on terror there it doesn't seem to be much enthusiasm from people outside why is that is it is it because the cause isn't justified or people are just tired a wars. that the second world war great patrol to war wasn't just one record of course it was one or you know the whole sort of people. sort of victory defend it depended at the end of popular support for the war on terror the willingness to to make a huge sacrifices also.
